A Screaming Object
Solo exhibition by Elsa Rouy at Guts Gallery, London.
About
A platform for contemporary artists
Guts Gallery developed a programme centred on emerging and underrepresented artists, combining exhibitions, collaborative projects and public-facing initiatives in London.
Its programme brought together solo presentations and group exhibitions while maintaining an artist-led ethos. Rather than treating artists as an interchangeable part of the market, Guts placed their practices, ideas and long-term development at the centre of its work.
This website preserves that artistic context and documents selected artists, exhibitions and projects associated with the gallery's programme.

Approach
Challenging the traditional gallery model
The gallery's identity was closely connected with a younger generation of artists and gallerists questioning who receives visibility, representation and access within the contemporary art market.
The archive is not a new commercial programme. It is a record of artists, exhibitions and ideas connected with Guts Gallery and its artist-led history.
Archive
Preserving the gallery's history
Guts Gallery presented exhibitions across London and worked with artists including Elsa Rouy, Corbin Shaw, Olivia Sterling and Victoria Cantons. This site is being rebuilt as an archive of that original art-focused history. Additional artist and exhibition pages will be added as archival material is organised.
